A room-by-room guide to cleaning your home

The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home, but it's also one of the most challenging rooms to keep clean due to the constant cooking and food preparation.

First and foremost, establish a regular cleaning routine. Daily tasks such as wiping down countertops, cleaning spills promptly, and doing the dishes immediately after meals can prevent the build-up of grime and make your kitchen easier to manage in the long run. Invest in quality cleaning supplies, including non-abrasive cleaners, microfibre cloths, and sponges, to ensure you have the right tools for the job.

Deep cleaning your kitchen periodically is crucial. Start by emptying and cleaning the fridge and cupboard shelves, discarding expired items, and wiping down surfaces with a mild detergent. Scrubbing your oven, stovetop, and microwave to remove baked-on food residue is essential for both hygiene and appliance longevity. Don't forget to clean and sanitize your sink and kitchen bin to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

Lastly, vacuum and wash the floors regularly to eliminate dirt and crumbs that can attract pests and create a less-than-pleasant atmosphere. The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine™ vacuums hard floors, carpets and upholstery and its Submarine™ wet roller head washes hard floors all around your home. The roller head cleans spills and tough stains and is engineered to clean tile, stone, sealed wood, ceramic, vinyl, linoleum and laminate floors.

Bathrooms can quickly become breeding grounds for mold and bacteria, making regular cleaning essential. Start by gathering all your cleaning supplies, including toilet bleach, disinfectant, scrub brushes, microfiber cloths, and rubber gloves. Having these essentials to hand will save you time and effort during the cleaning process.

Begin by decluttering the bathroom, removing any unnecessary items and placing them in their proper storage spaces. This not only makes cleaning more efficient but also creates a tidier appearance. Start with the cleaning toilet, applying the bleach and allowing it to work while you focus on other areas. Scrub the toilet thoroughly with a toilet brush and wipe down the exterior with a disinfectant cleaner.

Moving on, clean all surfaces and fixtures in the bathroom, paying special attention to frequently touched areas such as light switches. Make your bathroom mirror and any glass surfaces sparkle by using a glass cleaner and a microfibre cloth. For the shower and bath, remove soap scum and grime with a suitable cleaner and a scrub sponge. Don't forget to vacuum and wash the bathroom floor, ensuring you get into corners and around the toilet base.

Incorporating these cleaning practices into your routine will help you keep your bathroom fresh and hygienic.

The living room is where you entertain guests and spend quality time with family, so it's important to maintain a clean and inviting space.

Begin by decluttering. Put away items that don't belong in the room, such as toys, magazines, or dishes. A clutter-free environment not only makes cleaning easier but also enhances the overall aesthetics.

Dusting and vacuuming are also crucial steps. Use a microfiber cloth or the Dyson Scratch-free dusting brush to gently clean surfaces like shelves, tables, and electronic devices. Pay attention to often-overlooked areas such as light fixtures and skirting boards. Then, thoroughly vacuum the floors, carpets, rugs, and any upholstered furniture. Regular vacuuming helps remove allergens and maintains a fresh appearance.

Cleaning your living room doesn’t just involve tackling dust and mess. Wipe down surfaces like coffee tables and end tables using a mild cleaner. Don't forget to sanitize remote controls, doorknobs, and light switches plus refresh the air by opening windows or using an air purifier to improve indoor air quality.

Lastly, consider organizing and rearranging as you put items back after cleaning. This can provide a fresh, updated look to your living room without the need for significant changes or expenses.

Your bedroom should be a sanctuary for rest and relaxation, so keeping it clean and serene is essential.

Start with decluttering your bedroom. Remove items that don't belong, such as dishes, paperwork, or random clothing. Donate or discard items you no longer need. Keeping surfaces clear of clutter can instantly make your room feel cleaner and more spacious.

Next, dust and vacuum regularly to reduce the accumulation of dust and allergens on surfaces and in corners. Don't forget to clean often-overlooked items such as blinds and light fixtures.

Changing your bed linens – including sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers – at least once a week will prevent the build-up of sweat, dust mites, and skin cells. But microscopic life can lurk beneath she sheets too, so it’s important to clean your mattress. Using a vacuum with a high-power or Boost mode will deliver the suction you need, and the wide-aperture Dyson Mattress tool helps to remove dust, dirt and allergens from mattresses and upholstery.

Finally, clean the windows and mirrors with a streak-free glass cleaner and open the windows to allow fresh air to circulate and remove stale odors.

Aside from regular maintenance, deep clean your bedroom every few months. This includes cleaning behind furniture, wiping down walls, and shampooing carpets if necessary.

Maintaining a clean home is an ongoing process, but it doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Consistent effort and a few minutes each day can help keep your rooms in tip-top shape.

By following these room-by-room cleaning tips, you can tackle each area of your home – creating a space that’s welcoming and comfortable. Remember to adapt these tips to your specific needs and preferences.
